Japan has been one of the most important international sponsors of
human security, yet the concept has hitherto not been considered
relevant to the Japanese domestic context. This book applies the
human security approach to the specific case of the earthquake,
tsunami and nuclear accident that struck Japan on 11 March 2011,
which has come to be known as Japan's 'triple disaster'. This left
more than 15,000 people dead and was the most expensive natural
disaster in recorded history. The book identifies the many
different forms of human insecurity that were produced or
exacerbated within Japan by the triple disaster. Each chapter adds
to the contemporary literature by identifying the vulnerability of
Japanese social groups and communities, and examining how they
collectively seek to prevent, respond to and recover from disaster.
Emphasis is given to analysis of the more encouraging signs of
human empowerment that have occurred. Contributors draw on a wide
range of perspectives, from disciplines such as: disaster studies,
environmental studies, gender studies, international relations,
Japanese studies, philosophy and sociology. In considering this
Japanese case study in detail, the book demonstrates to
researchers, postgraduate students, policy makers and practitioners
how the concept of human security can be practically applied at a
policy level to the domestic affairs of developed countries,
countering the tendency to regard human security as exclusively for
developing states.
